Usage

{{Delayednotice|YYYY|MM|DD|Message to be displayed from YYYY-MM-DD onward}}

Month names and abbreviations will also work. That is {{Delayednotice|2009|December|25|Merry Christmas!}} will work as well as {{Delayednotice|2009|Dec|25|Merry Christmas!}}.

Since the output is an {{mbox}}, all the parameters of the {{mbox}} template are accepted to modify the mbox (see its documentation for parameters).

An optional parameter plain exists so that if plain=yes the output will be just text and not an mbox (see example).

The notice will not show up in your watchlist when it become active, so it's a good idea to place it on a high-visibility page that you or your audience usually frequent.

Examples

Placing the following on your talk page (or anywhere else)

  • {{Delayednotice|2007|11|10|Tomorrow is [[Veteran's Day]], and the article will be on the [[WP:SA|''On this day...'']] section. Remember to watch the page for higher levels of vandalism than usual.}}

will produce (from 10 November 2007 and onwards).


Using the |plain=yes parameter will simply display the text as you typed it (without any box or external markup). For example,

  • <blockquote>{{Delayednotice|2007|11|10|plain=yes|Tomorrow is [[Veteran's Day]], and the article will be on the [[WP:SA|''On this day...'']] section. Remember to watch the page for higher levels of vandalism than usual.}}</blockquote>
